-The 2nd Amendment has been irrelevant since the Civil War, the Heller decision was a product of the corrupt Roberts Court.
No personal offense, but your aunt sounds very uninformed and downright ignorant when it comes to understanding the Constitution or anything related to firearms.
While I could address a multitude of her listed points, I'd rather sum everything up as it relates to the 2A.
Does she feel that all aspects of the Constitution are irrelevant since the CW? If so, she must oppose all the rulings that have come down from the SCOTUS ever since. If not then let her know that we as citizens of a free Republic do not get to pick and choose which parts of the Constitution we like and disregard the rest. However if society ever decides a certain aspect of it is outdated, there is always the amendment process, which we have used in the past.
Somehow I doubt she will answer that she objects to the 1A or 4A for example, so right there you have won that debate. More importantly try to get her to see beyond what she perceives as a perfect little world she lives in, and try to get her to understand that if the SHTF, only the 2A will be able to protect the rest of our freedoms from being eviscerated.
Lastly, as to her derision of the "corrupt Roberts Court" does she feel the same way about ObamaCare passing with his vote?
I ask because I have no idea what her political bent is, and if she is a left wing partisan, most of the aforementioned will go in one ear & pout the other. Still we should always at least try to persuade the other side lest we become so outnumbered that all our rights and freedoms will be lost to them some day.
It might take a few hundred years, but I can picture a society of defenseless Eloi dependent on someone else to provide for their very existence. While Weena was very hot in the Time Machine, I'd hate to think my future generations living like sheep, waiting for the slaughter.
